MvLe> Was trying to modify phone number validation and saw this:

 MvLe>   /* Asshole detector */
 MvLe>   if (stristr(szNewPhone, "555-1212") || stristr(szNewPhone,
 MvLe> "5551212"))   {

yeah, that the information operator number here in the states... it is
invalid for a home or data number for anyone... also, the 555-0100 thru
555-0199 are reserved for for fictional use are are guaranteed to "not
connect anywhere"... the others in the 555 exchange are and have been
allocated... these numbers are not limited to any specific areacodes,
either... 919-555-1212 get the information operator for areacode 919...
800-555-1212 gets the information operator for the 800 toll-free
areacode... 225-555-1212 gets the information operator for the 225
areacode... i don't think it'd be a good idea to pull that validation out
;)
